Description

Summary

I made a project here where the CHR banks are swaped wrong. It works on all other emulators I tried.

Repro

Apply IPS to Castlevania 1 or patch from source. Might help to find the issue. Still need to see how other games do it to not trip this issue. Currently I do not know why this is happening in BizHawk!

Output
Host env.
  • BizHawk 2.9.1; Win11 Pro; Intel i7-4790K

Research direction

Start by applying the IPS patch to Castlevania 1 and reproducing the CHR bank swap in BizHawk 2.9.1, comparing the affected quickNES, NEShawk, and subNEShawk cores with other emulators. Done means the CHR banks are swapped correctly for the provided reproduction across the affected cores.
